Rebecca Front said: ‘It's a real thrill to be allowed to do one of the Little Crackers. I love the series. And it's pretty weird but also lovely trying to recreate a story from your childhood, casting actors to play your family and even yourself.

‘I hope what we're making will be personal, but will also resonate with people watching.’

Lucy Lumsden, Sky’s head of comedy, said: ‘We are thrilled to be bringing Little Crackers back to Sky 1 for a third year.

‘The series has had two brilliant series so far and we are very proud to again be announcing the best names in comedy. This year we have a behind-the-scenes element to ensure we are bringing even more exclusive content to our customers.’
